The Jefferson Hills Borough Recreation Board sponsored a double-elimination softball tournament on Sunday, August 21 at 885 Andrew Reilly Park. Eight teams participated in this fundraiser for Officer James Kuzak of the Clairton Police Department, who was injured in the line of duty. On April 4, 2011, Patrolman Kuzak and fellow officers answered a home invasion call in the City of Clairton. Upon arrival, he was shot five times and critically wounded by two suspects as they fled the scene. Sustaining gunshot wounds to the chest, arm and side that severely injured his lung and spine, Kuzak is recovering from his injuries as he continues a journey down a very long road to rehabilitation and recovery. All tournament proceeds benefitted the Officer James Kuzak Fund.
